I hope someone knowledgable will help me here.
Do I get this right: US taxpayers are giving their hard earned dollars so that a government agency CIA can take it and, throu their venture capital firm (!), invest it into something that might, but also might not, work?
Is this actually fiscally responsible? Is it in the job description of an intelligence agency to be a VC fund, not with private money, but with the money of the shrinking US middle class?

- caseymarquis 10y agoMeh. The whole system's a sham in my opinion; might as well get some decent technology out of it.
- bbctol 10y agoThe fact that it may or may not work is hardly a reason to not spend tax dollars on it... the government sends lots of money towards academic research and other scientific projects that individually have a low chance of amounting to much.
